About The Artist

Edel Ramirez AKA Edelart

I think it all started in 1973. I was only 4 years old and lived in the house of my paternal grandmother, a nineteenth century mansion in the center of Tlaquepaque. A picturesque place of Mexico, where plastic expressions take spectacular forms, thanks to the skillful hands of artisans who give life to clay, which is delicately colored with brushes.
With all that environment is an invitation to art. I remember my first drawing, it was two characters were very long legs and square shoes ... although I have not drawn all the time, only seasonally, it is something that I love. But it was not until 1986 when, under the artistic influence of Fray Guerrero; my father, and professional painter. I discovered how wonderful it is to slide the stylus across a blank sheet and unleash my imagination.
In my youth all I wanted to do was devour the world, so a set of books in the family room, and other resources in Fray Guerrero’s study taught me how to “eat” up material, which ultimately taught me how to slowly digest great chunks of knowledge, and I devoured everything. Graphite, ink, charcoal, and airbrush, which by the way deserves it’s own chapter. I drew, drew, and drew for 10 months straight in 1986.
Later that year my first foray as a graphic artist came in a private University at Zapopan, Jalisco. It gave me an opportunity to develop my skills in the industry as an editorial designer, and commercial screen printer. Then came the era of digital printing and soon I became a site in the field of digital imaging and digital technologies to market scheduled celebrities.
It was in 2012 that my friend and fashion designer Nicholas Bowes, invited me to do some design work for its line of shirts. It was a pleasure to retake pencils and contribute my art to the garment industry. An adventure that has led me to take big challenges, accompanied by my now inseparable pencil. As if that were not enough, I have the opportunity to share, my experiences with drawing enthusiasts.
In art there is always opportunity to lend a hand. Try it, it’s mesmerizing.
